Default Using Replace to remove part of a string

Hi,

I have a number of cells that end with ;Color=12342. For example -

Alan;Color=12342
Jane;Color=12342
Clare;Color=12342
Ian;Color=12342

I want to replace ";Color=12342" with "". So that the 4 cells contain
-

Alan
Jane
Clare
Ian

The following code doesn't work (replaces nothing) -

range.Replace(";Color=12342", "", Excel.XlLookAt.xlPart,
Excel.XlSearchOrder.xlByRows, false, false, false, true);

And this line of code inserts a space at the end of each cell, which I
don't want -

range.Replace(";Color=12342", " ", Excel.XlLookAt.xlPart,
Excel.XlSearchOrder.xlByRows, false, false, false, true);

Why does the first line of code above not work?

Thanks,

Barry.
